WTF, Tech gets Vanilla Ice for a halftime show, and we have had absolutely nothing?!?!
Halftime Entertainment
- Thread starter ISUKing
- Start date
Nothing is much, much better than Vanilla Ice.
And if they start making shots, the VW people start rebounding directly in front of the shooter as a distraction.
Why do so many of the rebounding people seem like they have never touched a basketball before in their lives? Perhaps it is to be distracting and make it harder for the shooters.
At first I thought you were talking about today's game...I've successfully avoided THAT thread...
Seems like we got the better deal, doesn't it?
We don’t need halftime entertainment for the 6,000 fans that will be at the rest of our games.
Hear me out - Intramural 3v3 basketball tournament during halftime. Before the season begins the (32) best 3v3 teams are decided. They then enter into a 32 team NCAA tourney style tournament with a game on each hoop during halftime. This equates to 31 total matches, at 2 per halftime this would be pretty close to filling all of the home games....
But wait there's more! In the final home game, the winning 3v3 team faces the walk-ons for the right to be next year's walk-ons.
Free halftime entertainment, more student engagement, and we've now created a platform to find hidden talent at ISU.

Percy the Chihuahua (nicknamed Peanut by the announcers) and Christian Stoinev stole the show at the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina.

I remember when we used to have halftime entertainment. Did the A.D. ever explain why we only got it once this yr?

Of course. How many rappers can say they wrote a song for Queen?
I vote for the Iowa Skippers. They are a jump rope team out of Cedar Rapids. They performed at Girls State Tournament last night, at UNI/Drake game in CF last month, and do a lot of high school games. Good stuff! Its amazing what these kids can do.
Last year, they performed at halftime of Iowa/Northwestern game. Needless to say, that was the best part of my day.
When I was a student at Iowa State (83-87), they always had a shooting contest at halftime. I think they shot 5 shots.They would draw a fan from the crowd by calling the section, the row, then the seat. I cant recall the guys last name, but it was through Benson Motors. He would walk out there, say "Hi everybody", and the crowd would respond with "Hi Ed". Very entertaining.

Ed Gagnier. Pronounced gah-nyay. He was the men's gymnastics coach for over a decade. He has a banner in the rafters at Hilton.
